I really like MorphOS, but have to agree that there must be a better licensing methodology developed. As a matter of fact, I've been hanging out to see a thread like this for ages!
If you have any reasonable ideas how that could work, I'm sure the team would be happy to hear them.
If I'd purchased it when I only had the Efika, then I couldn't install it on my Mac Mini without smashing the Efika & sending parts of it to ?Germany?
Erm, not a fugging chance!
Well... you actually need to install it before you can register. I don't think anyone wants you to break your old hw, and you are free to sell the old hw + license.
Again, MorphOS is cool, but I'll never buy it when demolition of an old machine is the only option...
Again... it is not the only option, users are free to sell their license bundled with the hardware.
What if I had a Pegasos & wanted to migrate to a Mac Mini? "Yeah dude, just smash it to bits, it's all cool"!
See above.
Now if you can think of a better way to handle this, one that cannot easily be abused, feel free to share.
